A

Particles slow down and lose kinetic energy

The attractive forces between the molecules pull them together

Q

What 2 conditions are needed for a particle of a liquid to escape without the liquid reaching boiling point

A

Travelling in the right direction to escape

Travelling fast enough to overcome the attractive forces of the other particles in a liquid
